I am looking to build my first computer. I plan to use it for gaming and computing, with minimum over-clocking.

Are there any suggestions to components that should be changed or added?

The PSU is not great. Average at very best. I would recommend an Antec, XFX, Seasonic unit. Or Corsair TX, HX, AX unit.

Also, if this is for gaming, get an i5 nit an i7 and 8gb RAM.

Use the saved money on a better GPU.

In addition, if you are not going to overclock (or don't plan too) you can get the non-K edition i5-4670 to shave a few. I also personally don't recommend spending the extra on black edition HDDs. Too overated. You would be fine with a Caviar Blue. The UD3H motherboard would be fine as well if you are not overclocking.

Do you have a specific corsair recommendation?

If you are looking for semi modular, I would go with one of these four.

Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($80.81 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($83.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($84.98 @ OutletPC)
Power Supply: XFX XTR 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($94.99 @ NCIX US)

If you are not worried about modular and efficiency rating, go with this.

Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ NCIX US)
